Parameters Inference of Generalized Exponential Distribution Based on Generalized Progressively Hybrid Censoring Scheme

As a new reliability test plan, generalized progressive hybrid censoring can improve test efficiency by allowing experimenters to observe a pre-specified number of failure samples before the final termination point. Based on a class of widely used life distribution in life data analysis ---generalized exponential distribution, this paper discusses its parameters inference issue under generalized progressive hybrid censoring scheme. EM Algorithm is used to estimate parameters of the considered model. Simulation studies and a real-data analysis are carried out to illustrate the performance of finite sample for the proposed procedure.
